Looking for some website help
      #1905632 - 24/06/2008 14:05

I have just had our web site redesigned, and while it seems to be working fine at home on a couple of PCs at work I have had some issues with it locking up Internet Explorer when moving between pages.

It is not quite finished yet, and some of the content needs tweeking but since you guys are all pretty clued up on boats and the web I would appreicat it if a few could have a look (especially those using different browsers) and give me your thoughts.

It will mean looking at pics and details of our boats, but this is not a cheap shot to get the website profile raised - I genually would like some constructive feed back to make sure we havent developed a site that locks up peoples PCs.

Also, you guys buy boats so I am sure you will tell me if it doesnt work from an asthetic point of view or is just utter pants. All comments welcome, the good the bad and the ugly.

Thanks

Works fine on my PC at work.
Looks good, although it won't let me build the boat of my dreams!!

All the best with it.

Cheers

Jez,

Very slow to load up, but a lot better when you get on it.

Cheers

The F24 (on it's own page) still appears to be a Consul boat - Ford had a lot to answer for...


The navigation's a bit all over the place - sometimes it's top right, sometimes bottom right, sometimes it's underneath the images of the boats. The W23 has no gallery yet. I think they're RCD Category B or C, not CE Category. But it's fine for me in the IE tab of Firefox (uses the IE engine).

Looks nice and professional otherwise.

Thanks Graham.

Waiting for my content management stuff to filter down from the web developer bloke and I will get that changed.

I will take a look at the navigation as well. It should be to the right of most pages apart from the welcome page.

Thanks for the comments

The RCD/CE catagory thing is a tough one. I have always refered to it as the CE catagory as on the builders plate it is shown as 'CE - C' rather than 'RCD - C' and I think the majority of people understand it as a CE catagory even though it should probably be refferred to as an RCD catagory.

Jury is out on that one, but happy to be corrected.

A an appropriate image when roll over the boat in the range would be nice ...

I've got lots of "block with adblock plus" over my screen - it is a FF add on which seems to think any flash content is an advert ...

When you click on the different models in the used boats part I get 'Error: The URL contains too many segments' - firefox...
